[$] Shadow-stack control in clone3()

Shadow stacks are a control-flow-integrity feature designed to defend

against exploits that manipulate a thread's call stack. The kernel first

gained support for hardware-implemented shadow

stacks, for the x86 architecture, in the 6.6 release; 64-bit Arm

support followed in 6.13. This feature does not give user space much

control over the allocation of shadow stacks for new threads, though; a patch

series from Mark Brown may, after many attempts, finally be about

to change that situation.
